Chapter 632: Sit back and watch the chaos!
"Please leave the court!"
"Please leave the court!"
"Please leave the court!"
The voices gradually became one, Zhou Xinrou's face flushed with anger, and she pursed her lips tightly to avoid looking hideous.
She is the emperor's mother, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. These people dared to let her go, which was simply treasonous.
She wanted to separate these people's heads and bodies and kill all nine generations of their clan.
"Princess, let's go back!" Liu muttered in a voice so soft that others had to lean over to her mouth to hear it.
Zhou Xinrou glared at the old master fiercely and said angrily, "If you let me leave today, you will have to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times and carry me back in a sedan chair tomorrow."
The three regents remained unmoved.
Zhou Xinrou snorted coldly, flicked her sleeves and left.
As soon as she left, Song Daoxi expressed her regret again and again.
"I forgot to ask the princess to return the thousand-year-old ginseng to His Majesty."
The Baiguan Sutra reminded me, and only then did I remember that I still had the life-saving old ginseng.
"Let one of us go and tell the princess!"
"We just drove the princess away, and now we're begging her for help. Aren't we going to be turned away?"
"It's better to be turned away. You saw how the princess looked just now. Won't she take the opportunity to punish us?"
"Who's going?"
The discussions in the court soon turned into news and were sent to Zhou Xinrou.
"Princess, what about the old ginseng?"
Zhou Xinrou recalled the way Emperor Renxiao drank ginseng tea before, and snorted coldly: "That old ginseng doesn't have the effect of bringing the dead back to life as rumored. It's all fake."
The nanny didn't believe it. They had just received news yesterday that the old ginseng master seemed to be about to become a spirit. There must be something magical about him.
"Princess, thousand-year-old ginseng is such a tonic. Emperor Renxiao used too much of it before." All medicines are poisonous to some extent, and everyone knows this.
Emperor Renxiao insisted on forcing himself to stay healthy and used strong medicine on himself. He can only blame himself and not the thousand-year-old ginseng.
Zhou Xinrou pondered for a while and made a decision.
"Ask someone to pretend to be Zhou Ruyuan and steal the thousand-year-old ginseng."
There was another thing that made her very worried.
"Didn't Song Daoxi go to Dongchuan with me? Why did he suddenly appear in the court?"
At that time in the court, if Song Daoxi had not suddenly appeared, those officials would not have been calmed down so quickly.
From this perspective, Shen Lanxi is easier to deal with, but the difficult one is the heir of Guiguzi.
The reason why all the officials in the court believed that a woman like Shen Lanxi could ascend the throne was all because of Song Daoxi.
She had tried to find someone to get close to Song Daoxi before, but all failed. Now that Shen Lanxi was not in the palace, the defense was naturally relaxed.
This is the best time to get close to Song Daoxi.
"Let our people find a way to get close to Song Daoxi and gain his trust."
Mammy thought for a moment and said, "All those people we sent to the palace before were assigned to clean remote palaces. This would cause more trouble. We cannot use those people."
If those people could accomplish things, they would have done it long ago. Zhou Xinrou felt that what Nanny said made sense.
"You go ahead and do it!"
"yes!"
…
After the news of Shen Lanxi's accident spread back to Tianjin, the new dynasty headed by Zhou Ruyuan felt like it was a blessing from heaven and they couldn't wait to celebrate the amnesty.
"Your Majesty, what we need to do now is to quickly spread the news that Shen Lanxi is seriously injured and has passed away, and take advantage of their demoralized army to attack!" Although Yuan Lang didn't want to admit it, he also felt a sense of pride.
It was so refreshing. Ever since the establishment of the new dynasty, he always had a feeling of being powerless and not being able to do things according to his heart. Whatever he did, it either died halfway or never achieved the effect he expected.
If it weren't for his firm belief, he would have thought that Shen Lanxi was blessed by God.
Now, Shen Lanxi is seriously injured and dying, which shows that God is fair and just.
"Chen Lanxi is a traitor who has committed treasonous acts. Heaven will punish her. The imperial power she has seized is doomed to not last long."
"Now is the time for us to uphold orthodoxy!"
Yuan Lang's words inspired the emperor and his ministers of the new dynasty.
After Shen Lanxi's death, the group was leaderless. Their new dynasty emperor Zhou Ruyuan was of orthodox royal blood, so it was natural for him to take over the power of the old dynasty.
Zhou Ruyuan's succession to Shen Lanxi is in compliance with the will of heaven. Anyone who tries to stop him is a traitor and will not be tolerated by heaven and earth.
"Send someone to investigate immediately and confirm whether the news is true." Zhou Ruyuan was not overwhelmed by the surprise. He had experienced Shen Lanxi's treachery many times before. What if this was also a plot set up by Shen Lanxi?
Without complete preparation and confirmed news, he would not rashly waste his troops.
"Master, have you found Liu Binglin's whereabouts?"
…
"Your Majesty, there are more than a dozen carrier pigeons and hawks coming from the capital, and there are also quite a few carrier pigeons flying to and from Tianjin."
Liu Yanhui told Shen Lanxi the latest news.
They did not leave the team too far, and they could see the accompanying Eastern Expedition Army stationed not far away.
Shen Lanxi thought about the number and sneered.
"It seems that the capital is still anxious."
Liu Yanhui was a little puzzled. Was there anything wrong with the capital being anxious?
Isn't it natural for all officials to be anxious when something happens to His Majesty?
But your majesty's tone is wrong.
I always feel like something is going to happen.
Soon Liu Yanhui's premonition came true.
"Your Majesty, something went wrong with the thousand-year-old ginseng that was sent to the capital. It was robbed by a group of bandits who appeared out of nowhere. According to the people who transported it, they were most likely Zhou Ruyuan's men from Tianjin."
Shen Lanxi: "Last night I ordered the return of the life-saving ginseng, and today the ginseng was hijacked. What a coincidence."
Liu Yanhui's heart was beating fast: "Your Majesty, why don't you show up? I feel that if you don't show up soon, something big will happen in the court."
Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "Why didn't you say something happened in Tianjin?"
Liu Yanhui naturally had reasons and evidence: "It's just a city like Tianjin, so even if troops are sent, it's within expectations." But it's different in the capital.
Your Majesty, as a woman, ascended the throne on the premise that all officials fear her. What if this existence that makes them fear is gone?
Moreover, Your Majesty has no children and has not appointed a crown prince, which clearly tells everyone that the position will be taken by the most capable person.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that we will take Tianjin but lose the capital?"
Shen Lanxi laughed, her eyes as cold as ice.
"That's perfect, isn't it? Those people just happened to help me get rid of the dirt. If that's the case, when I return to the capital, won't the weather be clear and sunny?"
Liu Yan twitched her lips and said, "Your Majesty, you always have plans in mind. Aren't you afraid of unexpected events?"
Could it be that His Majesty has already secretly informed the generals?
That's definitely the case.
Three days after the news of Shen Lanxi's serious injury spread, Tianjin began to raise troops.
After confirming that she was incurable, Tianjin quickly sent troops.
Zhou Ruyuan sat on the throne, his eyes shining and full of ambition.
